Absent-Minded Professor: At one point, Indy tries to return to his office and is besieged by students because he hasn't been grading any of their work. He has to climb out the window to escape. Although some of the female students were there for something else...

Ace Pilot: "Fly, yes. Land, no." Interestingly, in Temple of Doom (which is a prequel set in 1935), he says he doesn't know how to fly a plane. However, in the novelisation for Temple of Doom, it's made pretty clear that Indy was joking with Willie that he didn't know how to fly to mess with her. In the Young Indy TV series he indeed does learn some basic flight skills, but never how to land.

Agent Scully: To a point. In Crystal Skull, Indy is a big skeptic about the existence of alien races, and in Raiders, considers The Ark of the Covenant nothing but a fancy gold box, but when the Ark is opened at the end of the film he insists that he and Marion avert their eyes.

Anti-Hero: He's a Deadpan Snarker and somewhat cynical Knight In Sour Armor, but a generally good guy. He seems to have little qualms killing if the situation requires it and has shown many times to be a dirty fighter. There's also the fact he did pretty unmentionable things to an underage Marion Ravenwood (although he maintains that Marion was old enough to know full well what they were doing and give consent). In the original script of Raiders he's also prone to fooling around with some of his college students.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite the fact that he's encountered many powerful artifacts over the years, he still sneers at the prospect of magical telepathic skulls or any new "mystical" discovery.

Berserk Button: One of the few ways to truly enrage the normally logical Henry Jones Junior is to harm an innocent child... just ask the shredded remains of Mola Ram in the bellies of a dozen satisfied crocodiles. And don't call him "Junior"!

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He actually is a talented archaeologist, but he also forgets to mark work on a regular basis.

Boots of Toughness: Indiana as an Adventurer Archaeologist wears boots, tough enough for stomping killer ants. His teacher persona does not wear them, opting for everyday shoes, not that he'd need them since when he's teaching, nothing "adventurey" happens.

Determinator: His true strength. Indy isn't Charles Atlas Superpowered like Doc Savage, or a Gadgeteer Genius like MacGyver, or a government trained agent who's world class at everything from seduction to assassination to proper etiquette like James Bond. What he is is the kind of person who, if you shoot him, punch the open wound multiple times, and then smash him through the windshield of a speeding truck... will slide under the truck, let himself be dragged until he comes out the other end, climb back on, and punch you right back.

Disappeared Dad: Indy complained that his father was more concerned about artifacts in a museum than his own son. Notably, however, it was Indy that walked out on him.

Indy himself is one, having walked out on Marion before learning that she was pregnant with Henry Jones III aka "Mutt".

Disney Death: Similar to Basil from The Great Mouse Detective. In The Last Crusade Indy seems he's fallen to his death in a deep chasm along with Vogel. While his father, Brody, and Sallah peering over the cliff, believing that he died, Indy climbs onto the cliff edge, revealing he's jumped from the tank before it fell..

Even the Guys Want Him: University professor Indy is being openly lusted over by all his female students, and then one of the males leaves an apple on his desk.

Friend to All Children: Despite his gruff exterior, Indy has a soft spot for children. Do not even think about threatening a child in his presence unless you want to get your ass kicked. Indy is himself, in many ways, an overgrown child living out his boyhood fantasy.

In his younger days, as chronicled by the TV series. Becomes cold and jaded in adulthood, but regains this trope after reconciling with his father.

In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana could have escaped with his fortune and glory, instead got captured to save a helpless little boy from being whipped to death. Not the smartest of moves, yes; but any illusions of him being a heartless and cynical mercenary disappears at this point, and we cheer for him all the way as he saves all of the children and defeats the evil of Kali-Ma.

Hot-Blooded: Best shown by how he counteracts discussions by shouting.

Hot Teacher: The fact his classes have mostly women shows the college finds him that.

Iconic Outfit: He does wear a wide variety of clothes in the films but He just isn't Indy without the Leather Jacket and fedora.

I Know Karate: Young Indiana Jones has shown proficiency in Northern Style Kung Fu in his TV series; though this is not retconned into the movie series proper, Indy has consistently been shown to be skilled in US Marines CQC (Close Quarters Combat, made famous by The Boss and Big Boss) since Temple of Doom; justifiable considering his extended experience in the military.

Indy Ploy: THE Trope Namer. He and his friends frequently lampshade how he does everything on the fly.

Line-of-Sight Name: "Henry Defense" came into being when he was asked to give a name while enlisting for the Belgian Army in World War I, and the French word "Defense' just happened to be on a plate resting on the desk.

Made of Iron: Unlike the Eighties Action Hero that followed, Indy's not invincible, and everyone punches him (Ben Burtt noted how the series required him to do a vast library of beating sound effects). The stunts he's forced to do (sliding below a moving truck, falling from a plane in a lifeboat, jumping from a tank that's falling off a cliff, using a refrigerator as a bomb shelter) also proves his toughness.

Omniglot: Latin, Greek, Japanese, German, Mayan, Egyptian, French, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese, Irish, Vietnamese, Hungarian, Hindi, Dutch, Old English, Quechua, American Sign Language, and most likely others. Word of God says he speaks 27 languages. Unfortunately, he didn't take that summer course in Hovitos... This trope largely came about in the sequelfilms; in Raiders, scriptwriter Lawrence Kasdan intended Indy to be a rather poor hand with foreign languages (which is why he needs someone else to translate the Staff of Ra headpiece inscription).

One-Man Army: Is able to hold his own against large crowds (be it Nazis, Indians, or Russians).

Only Known by Their Nickname: All of his friends consistently refer to him as "Indiana" or "Indy". It wasn't until the third movie that people learned his first name is actually Henry, and that he got his nickname from their dog.

The Bus Came Back: After Raiders, Marion is neither featured nor even mentioned in any films until Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Probably because she was too busy raising her and Indy's son.

Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments of snark, mostly directed at Indy's unusual mannerisms.

Defiant Captive: She must have a lot of nerves to face a sadist torturer like Toht and blowing smoke in his face.

Disney Death: In Raiders, Indy thinks she's dead when the truck she was thrown in while she was in a basket explodes. But he finds her alive at the Tanis site since they have switched baskets.

Establishing Character Moment: She gets two, the first in Raiders when she out drinks a guy twice her size in a shot for shot contest. The second is in Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. As soon as she's introduced we don't see her throughout most of the movie and even Mutt was a little vague about her full name. Upon re-introducing her we still don't see her, but we can hear her defiance prior to meeting Indy again the first time in years. Of course unlike Raiders, she's not surprised Indy showed up this time.

Marion: Get your hands off me you rotten Russkie son of a bitch!!!

Indy: Marion!?

Marion: Well, it's about time you showed up, Jones.

First Girl Wins: Given the backstory in "Raiders", Marion WAS Indy's girlfriend before Willie. It was the reason why Indy and Abner had a falling out.

The Lad-ette: Drinks a lot, punches people, and fits perfectly with the boys.

Ms. Fanservice: In The Raiders especially in her white dress and bare feet. Even in The Crystal Skull she hasn't lost her beauty.

Ms. Swears-a-Lot: There isn't a lot of swearing in the series, but an awful lot of it comes out of her mouth.

Slap-Slap-Kiss: More like "kiss-slap-slap-kiss" since she and Indy were an item long before she was angry enough to slug him.

Took a Level in Badass: She starts out capable enough, but grows more and more confident as Raiders goes on, and by the time Kingdom rolls around, she's casually driving amphibious trucks off of cliffs to escape pursuers.

Tsundere: Throughout Raiders. In Crystal Skull, during a heated argument with Indy, he comments that all the women he has been involved with since Marion had one problem, "They weren't you, honey". Cue Marion immediately grinning like a school-girl.

When She Smiles: Marion often has a somewhat cynical outlook, but when she smiles it's downright heartwarming.

Berserk Button: Committing blasphemy in his presence will get you slapped.

Beware the Nice Ones: He's at least a nominal Christian who doesn't approve of some of Indy's methods, like killing. Or blaspheming, for that matter. Then he makes a Nazi plane crash and blows up an entire truck full of Nazi soldiers simply justifying that "It's war!"

Bus Crash: He's mentioned in the fourth film to have died sometime after the third. Justified since Sean Connery refused to come out of retirement just to make some cameo that would ultimately be insignificant.

Parasol of Pain: As the German fighter pilot above found out the hard way...

Parental Neglect: One of the main complains of his son about his childhood. His Establishing Character Moment has him punishing a young Indy for disturbing his studies by making "Junior" recite the Greek alphabet...backwards...while totaling ignoring that several mooks and the police have just chased his son all the way home.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Only in his case, it's rats. He hates them with the same intensity Indy hates snakes. His enthusiasm at learning Indy discovered one of the clues to the grail evaporates when Indy mentions what the catacomb was filled with.

Flanderization: From a slightly absent-minded professor who was implied to have Indy-like adventures himself to someone who needed to be handheld through every situation. Somewhat justified in that, as Indy points out, he is way out of his element.

Hero of Another Story: It was implied in Raiders that Brody used to be an Adventurer Archaeologist himself. Lamenting that had he been younger, he'd be going after the Ark himself. His bumbling in Last Crusade, however, makes this seem rather unlikely.

Large Ham: Not so much in the way he speaks, but in the third movie, his facial expressions are hilariously over the top. But it was Denholm Elliott, so that's to be expected.

Took a Level in Badass: Though in the first movie he lamented that if he was as young as Indy he would have went on his adventure. Though most people who seen Crusade have labeled him a clumsy oaf that got lost in his own museum; he was willing to put his complaint in Raiders aside to help Indy rescue Henry. He even had enough cojones to knock a Nazi out with an Artillery shell.
